Ellen White Foundation brings free breast cancer screening to Bono East police women

The Ellen White Sustainable Foundation, in collaboration with the Awat Foundation and the Police Ladies Association, has provided free breast cancer screening to nearly 100 female police officers in the Bono East Region of Ghana. Held at the Techiman Divisional Police Command, the initiative aimed to promote early detection and awareness of breast cancer among women in uniform, who often face challenges accessing health facilities due to their busy schedules.

The event, themed "Investing in Women's Health, Investing in Stronger Communities," was organized by Mrs. Ellen White Opoku, founder of the Ellen White Sustainable Foundation, a 2023 Joy Impact Makers Award recipient. The Police Ladies Association expressed their support for the initiative, encouraging women to prioritize their health and get screened for early detection and treatment.

The program reflects a growing trend in making healthcare accessible to women in security services, with the foundation planning to extend such initiatives to more districts in the Bono East Region and beyond.
